Soon, time will take us back to the start.
Saw her yesterday. She returned my polo. While I was walking through the campus to meet her, I thought of how I would open up a conversation. We haven't seen each other for about 5 months. I didn't know what to say or how to act so that it wouldn't be awkward. So, I got to see her again. I tried to mumble words but everything was Insta-awkward. Short fake-sounding-short-laughs plus long pauses. Oh God, it was one of the awkwardest moments of my year. I took my polo and said goodbye to her. What she didn't knew is I just stood a little on the side and waited for her to get on her ride to school, just like I always do.

Later that afternoon, I stayed in Starbucks near the school with my blockmates. After a while, my ex-girlfriend lined up to buy a drink. I approached her and talked to her. Just like when we were in high school. Then I thought, time could really heal differences. It only takes some of our effort to go along with time doing its thing. Soon, time will take us back to the start. Where we were just friends. I don't wanna waste those years. It's precious.
